Which side does the ear lean to?
Our reading: to us the song feels closer to the F minor side because the major V chord points straight at Fm. That is an interpretation, not a rule — the same chords are just as valid seen from Ab major, and switching between the two views is exactly where the practice value lies.
Show the degrees above the chords — relative to Ab or to Fm; comparing both readings is a practice of its own.
Every chord of the key, listed 1 to 7 separately for each key. Chords played in the song show how often they appear; chords from outside the scale sit next to their own degree.

The key pair is Ab major and its relative F minor (4 flats). 3 different chords appear 52 times in total; 2 of them sit naturally inside the shared scale. The major V of Fm brings the harmonic-minor leading tone, giving the minor side a sharper, more dramatic pull.
The move to watch is Bbm → C, heard 16 times. From the Fm side it is iv → V (iv → V: the minor side's tension builder); from the Ab side it reads ii → III. Knowing where these arrivals fall helps you feel the phrasing and anticipate the next chord.
Empty slices are chords the song doesn't use.
The first chord is C; the ear learns where home is within a second. The backbone is Db, C, Bbm — IV–III–ii from the Ab side, VI–V–iv from the Fm side. C is the interesting twist: in Ab it is a chromatic chord (III), while in Fm it becomes the dominant (V) that makes the minor side sound so determined. Keep an ear on Bbm → C (ii → III in Ab, iv → V in Fm): iv → V — the minor side's tension builder. Ending on Bbm, the song seals Ab as home.
